Plan All Inclusive Carribean Vacations And Travel to Grenada.

The capital of Grenada, St. George's, is probably the most picturesque city in the Caribbean with its horseshoe-shaped harbor. The city is surrounded by a hillside of an old volcano crater and is an attractive colonial town nestled above the harbor. Low, whitewashed and terracotta-roofed buildings follow the sweep of the bay, standing out against the rich green of the surrounding vegetation. Brick and stone buildings with red tiled roofs line the streets where locals sell spices and crafts. The city is home of St. George's University School of Medicine.

The inner harbor area known as the Carenage is one of the main areas of activities. Wooden schooners are loaded and unloaded here and ... More there are places to get food and drinks. St. George's has changed but lost nothing of its quaint island charm. You can get just about anywhere on foot.

Must sees are:
Fort George
Fort George is Located on the promontory to the west of the harbor. Built in 1705 by the French, many of the building are now used by the police. Much of the fort is still intact and open to visitors, although the main draw is the view offered from this hilltop location.

The Carenage
The Carenage is the inner harbor area which serves as an anchorage for a variety of boats and ships. Wharf Road runs along the harbor offering good views of the area and activities taking place along the docks.

Sendall Tunnel
The Sendall Tunnel, which is still used today as it joins the Carenage to the Esplanade, was built in 1895. An engineering marvel at the time, the tunnel was named for the first governor of the island.

The Grenada National Museum
The Grenada National Museum is housed in a 1704 French barracks and former prison. The building was also used as the island's first hotel.
The museum displays a variety of historical items including Carib and Arawak artifacts, sugar processing machines and equipment, whaling industry items, and Josephine Bonaparte's marble bath.

Fort Frederick
